Credit Agreement (Revolving Credit Facility) On May 6, 2025, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Lions Gate Television Inc. (“LGTV”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as borrower, the guarantors referred to therein, the lenders referred to therein, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. Revolving Credit Facility Availability of Funds & Commitment Fee. The Credit Agreement provides for an $800.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, which may be increased up to $1,200.0 million, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein. Borrowing availability is limited by a borrowing base. As of June 30, 2026, $800.0 million of borrowing capacity was available. LGTV is required to pay a commitment fee of 0.375% per annum on the unused portion of the revolving facility. Maturity Date. The Credit Agreement and commitments thereunder will mature on May 6, 2030. Interest. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at LGTV’s option, at either (i) Term SOFR (subject to a 0.00% floor) or (ii) a base rate, in each case plus a margin. The applicable margin is 2.50% for SOFR loans and 1.50% for base rate loans. As of June 30, 2026, the effective interest rate on outstanding borrowings was 6.15% before the impact of interest rate swaps. See Note 17 for interest rate swap detail. Security and Guarantees. LGTV’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company and substantially all of its wholly-owned restricted subsidiaries and secured by substantially all assets of LGTV and the guarantors, in each case subject to certain customary exceptions. Covenants. The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants that, subject to certain significant exceptions, limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness or liens, make investments, engage in mergers, consolidations, asset sales or acquisitions, pay dividends or other restricted payments and enter into certain affiliate transactions. In addition, the Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a Liquidity Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of no less than 1.10 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. As of June 30, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants. Events of Default. The Credit Agreement includes customary events of default, including a change in control. Upon an event of default, lenders may terminate any remaining commitments and declare all outstanding principal and accrued interest immediately due and payable. In addition, the administrative agent may require the Company to provide cash collateral, equal to the full amount available under any letters of credit, regardless of whether any draws or other demands for payment have been made. Senior Notes On May 8, 2024, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Old Lionsgate issued $389.9 million aggregate principal amount of 5.5% senior notes due on April 15, 2029 (the “Senior Notes”) in exchange for an equivalent principal amount of existing 5.5% senior notes due 2029. In connection with the completion of the Starz Separation, LGTV assumed the Senior Notes pursuant to a Supplemental Indenture. Under the Supplemental Indenture, LGTV became the primary obligor under the Senior Notes and assumed all obligations of the original issuer. The initial issuer was released and discharged from all obligations under the Senior Notes. Maturity Date. Following completion of the Starz Separation, the Senior Notes mature on April 15, 2030. Interest. Following completion of the Starz Separation, the Senior Notes bear interest at 6.00% per annum payable semi-annually. Security. LGTV’s obligations under the original and Supplemental Indenture are guaranteed by the Company and affiliated grantors. The Company and grantors have pledged substantially all existing and future owned assets, in each case subject to certain customary exceptions. Covenants. The Senior Notes contain covenants that, subject to specified exceptions, restrict the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, declare dividends or repurchase its common shares, make certain loans or investments, and dispose of certain assets, among other limitations. As of June 30, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants. Optional Redemption. The Company may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at any time at the applicable redemption price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. The redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount) are as follows: (i) prior to the first anniversary of the Starz Separation closing date - 103.0%; (ii) on or after the first anniversary and prior to the second anniversary - 102%; (iii) on or after the second anniversary and prior to the third anniversary - 101.0%; (iv) on or after the third anniversary - 100%. Change in Control. A change of control constitutes a triggering event requiring the Company to offer to purchase all outstanding Senior Notes, at 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the purchase date. In addition, certain asset dispositions may require the Company to apply excess proceeds to an offer to purchase the Senior Notes at 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. Capacity to Pay Dividends. As of June 30, 2026, the capacity to pay dividends under the Credit Agreement and the Senior Notes significantly exceeded the Company’s accumulated deficit balance or net loss from continuing operations. Accordingly, the net loss from continuing operations, net of income tax, for the three months ended June 30, 2026 of $29.3 million and accumulated deficit as of June 30, 2026 of $3,762.1 million did not impose restrictions on its ability to pay dividends as of June 30, 2026. eOne IP Credit Facility: In July 2024, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into a $340.0 million senior secured amortizing term credit facility (the “eOne IP Credit Facility”) secured by certain intellectual property rights primarily associated with titles acquired as part of the eOne acquisition. In March 2026, the Company amended the eOne IP Credit Facility, increasing the maximum principal amount to $371.3 million. The facility continues to be subject to the amount of collateral available, based on the valuation of unsold rights from the libraries. Prior to the amendment, the eOne IP Credit Facility was subject to quarterly required principal payments of $8.5 million beginning on November 14, 2024. Following the amendment, the required quarterly principal payments increased to $9.3 million, beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The remaining balance outstanding is due at maturity. Advances under the eOne IP Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to Term SOFR plus 2.25% per annum (effective interest rate of 5.90% as of June 30, 2026, before the impact of interest rate swaps, see Note 17). As of June 30, 2026, there was no available borrowing capacity under the eOne IP Credit Facility. The eOne IP Credit Facility matures on July 3, 2029. LG IP Credit Facility: In September 2024, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into a $455.0 million senior secured amortizing term credit facility (the “LG IP Credit Facility”) based on and secured by the Company’s intellectual property rights primarily associated with certain titles. In November 2024 and December 2024, the Company closed amendments which increased the maximum principal amount of the LG IP Credit Facility to $850.0 million, and in March 2025, the Company closed an amendment which increased the maximum principal amount of the LG IP Credit Facility to $1.0 billion. On September 26, 2025, the Company closed an amendment which increased the maximum principal amount of the LG IP Credit Facility to $1.25 billion, which continues to be subject to the amount of collateral available, which is based on the valuation of unsold rights from the libraries. The Company is subject to quarterly required principal payments of 2.50% of the applicable aggregate outstanding principal amount, with the balance payable at maturity. Advances under the LG IP Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to Term SOFR plus 2.25% per annum (effective interest rate of 5.90% as of June 30, 2026, before the impact of interest rate swaps, see Note 17). As of June 30, 2026, there was no available borrowing capacity under the LG IP Credit Facility. The LG IP Credit Facility matures on September 30, 2029. 3 Arts Credit Facility: On May 29, 2025 in preparation for the A & A purchase (see Note 3), 3 Arts entered into a $50.0 million senior secured credit facility (the “3 Arts Credit Facility”) secured by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of 3 Arts and guarantors, as defined in the 3 Arts Credit Facility, subject to certain exceptions. The 3 Arts Credit Facility also contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants that are customary for similar financings. Payable at maturity, advances under the 3 Arts Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the borrower’s option, either Term SOFR or a base rate, in each case plus a margin of 2.50% for SOFR loans and 1.50% for base rate loans (effective interest rate of 6.15% as of June 30, 2026, before the impact of interest rate swaps, see Note 17 for interest rate swaps). The borrower will pay a commitment fee equal to 0.35% per annum in respect of unutilized commitments thereunder. As of June 30, 2026, there was $19.3 million of borrowing capacity available under the 3 Arts Credit Facility. The 3 Arts Credit Facility matures on May 29, 2029. Loss on Extinguishment of Debt: The Company recognized a $1.0 million loss on extinguishment of debt during the three months ended June 30, 2025, related to the termination of its prior revolving credit facility and entry into the Credit Agreement in connection with the Starz Separation. There was no extinguishment of debt recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2026.
